When I first came to Canada I used Bell but I recall it being bad, I've had Rogers for about a year now and I haven't had any problems at all yet. | ||

It's also the highest rated ISP on broadbandreports.com http://www.dslreports.com/gbu Also, if you fear torrent throttling, they offer MLPPP which circumvents the throttling for 4$ a month which includes Static IP if you want and the usenet group. I know I sound like a salesmen but there's really no other ISP you should use if you live in Canada. Check it out at least http://www.teksavvy.com/en/index.asp | ||

Bell scammed hundreds of dollars from my family because of a loopy contract. | ||

I'll go ahead and assume Mb their bandwidth/$ per month is pretty sick, but they dont have a rent option for a modem ;( and their naked DSL has a bunch of extra costs too (who has a landline nowadays anyway  ). and their activation costs are pretty killer ;(I could see how they could be a good deal for long-term though, I'll keep them in mind | ||

My sister uses this and it's the shiznizz. She downloads gigabytes of stuff every day, and she still can't reach her cap. (They also have an unlimited bandwidth plan IIRC.) | ||
